Loaded Baked Potato Salad

Summer is officially here!!! Are you already sick of the same boring lunch? Kick it up a notch by adding Loaded Baked Potato Salad into the mix!

Let’s face it, the same sandwich every day, even if you switch it up a bit can get a little mundane. As a Mom, I do my best to keep a variety of items handy for school lunches, picnics, pool days, and BBQ’s. One of my all time favorite sides is a good potato salad. With there being so many to choose from in the stores, I began to think of all the ways I could make my own and incorportate different items.

This potato salad pairs well with just about anything. It is so quick and spimple to make, and best of all, includes bacon!!! Your guests will be begging for the recipe!

Baked Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats + A Dog’s Purpose DVD Giveaway!

This post is sponsored by Universal Studios Home Entertainment. However, all opinions are my own. There are few things in life that are much better than a best friend. Sure, you’re probably thinking, “This woman is nuts!”, but am I really? You see, I’ve had pets all my life. I’ve learnt how to feed older dogs, and how to care for puppies. I’ve learned how to clean up after all kinds of dogs. (which by the way I’ve found the best roomba for pets can make cleaning up the dog fur so much easier if you’ve found this to be something you struggle with). I’ve also loved them all and experienced the pain when their time was up. I’ve had some pretty amazing dogs (and cats) in my lifetime. Do I miss them? Absolutely! Do I miss one the most? You betcha!Continue Reading

Okay, so Fall is finally here and for me that means more than pumpkin spice everything. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s so close to my birthday or just because it’s so much fun. This year, my kids have chosen some pretty random costumes, but I’m totally okay with it. We’re all going to be dolls and  you’re going to have to stalk my Instagram account to see us on the big night because I don’t want to ruin the surprise.

It’s a little early for me to start posting Halloween related content, but I couldn’t help myself. So, I thought these colorful no-so-Halloween-ish Monster Ice Cream Cupcakes would be a great way to ease us into what will begin the start of our holi”daze”. Once we hit Halloween, the remainder of the year just flies on by.Continue Reading
